This drive system does not rely upon a belt, it does not rely upon an idler drive, nor a direct drive system. The GMT ONE System deploys a recently patented magnetic gear technology ...........virtually zero noise thanks to the axially orientated binary bearing design at its heart.

Similar tech as used in wind turbines I think. (video link)

In the video air and or the magnetic repulsion is the lubricant in lieu of gear oil.

Doesn't a conventional race bearing still insure alignment at the shaft seals at the ends?

There has got to be some impressive shielding otherwise the coils in the cartridge would be dancing about with the motor.

Is that custom stand/box the turntable is built into lead lined or something?

NOISE SOURCES
There are many sources of noise, the most common being power line disturbances. Noise can be injected either via magnetic induction or from electric fields. And not just into the phonostage; noise can be coupled into cables, tonearm, or the cartridge itself.
